Yeah well, we should at least get the terms right.
Hitler was leader of the Nazis.
If we’re talking Fascism, that was Mussolini.
Mussolini was especially loved by the American Progressives of the 1930s, though they also spoke highly of Hitler.
They collaborated for a short time, yes, but there is a difference we Americans seem to have forgotten.
Nazi; Germany under Hitler.
Fascist; Italy under Mussolini.
Progressive; either one of the above, or both, plus communism, taken in small steps, in the U.S. and Europe.
They’re all Marxist in principle. Only difference is in the details of execution, the pace, and whether nationalist or more globalist.
From the outside, looking in, it may be a distinction with no real difference (both were Marxist after all) but the Facisti and the Nazis were different groups, and did not get along terribly well.
